Hi Paul, welcome to the club!

I'm also interested in seeing the demo, so when it's up, please post
here about it.

I'd like to know a little more about how the story progesses, if
that's not giving away too many secrets. You mention that there's no
main character, as such. I read that a little differently to how
KoolTeevan interpreted it. Does this mean the player is going
through the book multiple times with different characters, or just
that when a "decision point" in the book comes up, you might be
reading from the viewpoint of different characters? That might be a
very interesting way to present the story, IMO.

Also, you say this will be the first of a series. In some gamebooks,
decisions made earlier in the series affects what happens later.
Will the events which occur in this book have any influence on what
happens in later books, or will each book just assume a particular
starting condition?
